The news that ex. Treasurer John M.
Carroll had returned to the city on Satur-
day night last, brought about two hundred
visitors to his home on New street, on
Sunday and Monday. and until his physi-
clan had to put stop to it. About five
months ago Mr.. G. was paralyzed on the
left side, and though recovering, still
walks badly and has not full use Of his
arm. He appeared deeply touched with
the evidence of friendship shown him, and
the implicit confidence of his friends in
his assurance that he has never knowing
iy defrauded the city or any one else Of a
dollar. Mr.. Carroll said to them that
when he left the city he had no idea of
staying away, as his slender financial and
other preparations showed, but after get
ting away some other complications mot f.
nancial in their character and with which
most of his friends are familiar) so preyed
on his mind that he determined to stay.
He thinks that with his familiarity with
the business of the Treasurers office he
can on REORGANIZATION Of it's books show
clearly that he has never used dollar of
the money belonging to the city. He will
be ready to give this his attention just as
soon as his physical condition will
permit.

The Nest Egg From Which il Came.

An Augusta county correspondent of
the Southern Churchman" speaking of
the Protestant Episcopal Chapel lately
completed near Verona, says: 'Severa,
years ago, the late Canon Arson, of Eng
land, who was chaplain to the Queen at
Windsor, gave lot, and between four
and five hundred dollars, for the erection
of chapel, in that destitute region; there
being no church building nearer than
about four or five miles in any direction
and many persons being therefore almost
entirely cut off from church privileges ex-
cept an occasional service in school
house or private dwelling. Some time
after Canon Anson's donation, his sister
added several hundred dollars to the fund,
and this, together with smaller sums con-
tributed by friends of the church in Staun-
ton and elsewhere, and his own liberal
aid, enabled Canon Anson's son, who had
charge of the funds, and who resides near
Verona, to begin the work of building the
chapel. This he proceeded to DO in the
early spring of the present year, and so
earnestly was the work prosecuted that
on Sunday, July II, the first service was
held, and an earnest and appropriate SER
mon preached by the rector Of Trinity
church, Stanton. Although the mercu-
~ stood at go, and the hour was O'Clock
2. M, there was most attentive congre-
cation of about one hundred and ten per-
sons, and it was joyful occasion to all.
SipoQ tho dow no .boy, oil hoc hoo,
every Sunday afternoon. the earnest and
faithful lay reader, Mr.. Arson, conduct
ing the services when there is not cler-
gyman to be had. TIE chapel is plain and
substantial, 40x22 feet in d1mensions-a
neat and comfortable place of worship.
Pray that it may be blessing to every
= ,ul within the reach of its influence"

A subscriber in Rockingham complains
to us that he and another gentleman went
to Mt. Crawford Station. on the
Valley Railroad, at 9 O'Clock, Mon
day morning, to catch the 9.29
train for Stanton, as advertised in the
schedule Of the company. The train did
not come till Four O'Clock In the after
noon The excuse was that the engine
had heavy load to haul and got behind
hand. This is not legitimate railroading
and is well calculated to run local travel
down to minimum.
